深入解读
对于漫威迷们来说， marvel 这个单词是再熟悉不过了的，从漫威漫画（Marvel Comics）、漫威影业（Marvel Studios）、漫威电影宇宙（Marvel Cinematic Universe）到惊奇队长（Captain Marvel）等等，随处可见。
该词与 miracle （奇迹）同源，都是源自拉丁语 mirus （精彩的、绝妙的），14世纪经古法语 merveille （奇迹、奇观、惊奇）进入英语后即用来表示“奇迹”或“令人惊奇的人或事”，侧重指因非凡、奇异或异乎寻常而使人大为惊奇、赞叹或感到钦佩，比如：
- 在我看来真不可思议，他们能这么快推翻过渡政府。
It’s a marvel to me how they’ve managed to oust the interim government from power so quickly.
其复数 marvels 还可以用来表示“不平凡的成果、令人惊奇的成就”，比如：
- 医生们为这个濒临死亡的病人创造了奇迹。
The doctors have done marvels for the moribund patient.
用作动词时， marvel 相应表示“大为赞叹、惊讶不已、感到惊奇”，常用搭配 marvel at sth 指人对某物充满了惊奇、惊叹或钦佩，比如：
- 他们把六个园丁，加上领队和大量行李塞进一辆非常小的货车里，我对这一壮举惊讶不已。
I marvelled at their feat of cramming six gardeners, plus tour leader and an enormous supply of luggage, into a remarkably small van.
